Very nice, I've always been a fan of the mildly modified trucks. The rear wells look extended. Was that made for larger meats?

Sure was.

They were shaved for her....never mind. They were shaved with the drip rails and door locks. Gives it a clean look. I like it but I have to have mirrors on my truck.

I definitely have grown some paranoia without the mirrors....  Still haven't got used to that.

As for the tires, I wont put any real meats under those fenders until I do a drum to disc brake conversion. Which I am hoping will be my first big pocket emptying project.
But, when I do, you can bet the space will definitely be utilized!

It looks like the rear is still the stock length. Were the shock mounts moved? If so, you could probably get away with more backspacing on a wider wheel(or have those widened).

I'm not sure if I mentioned it here or not that my fly wheel was cracked and needed to be replaced... We got under there (barely) 3 of the 6 tranny bolts were gone and two of three left were finger tight (loose).....

Anyways, got the flywheel replaced and she's running like a champ....

Next up is to finish where the the previous owner left off on the bed and new wheels.... For now.
